And to avoid the need to touch the spec every time modules for a new kernel are rolled out. So what happens is that the release part of the target kernel's `uname -r`, without the gratuitous architecture and the dist tag, is appended to the kmod's release. This allows for clean updates when the module is built for a later kernel, and to install the right debuginfo package if you have to. But it's different from elrepo.

Hi,
On the subject of openafs, we're found one selinux bug.
If you have selinux turned on, then the /afs directory, by default, has 
the wrong selinux settings.

To fix this you have to run
   restorecon -v /afs
(Actually you don't need the -v, but it's nice to see that something is 
done)
And then you can start afs normally.

We'll have something in place by this friday's Alpha/Beta rollout.
